Haley Cavinder and Jake Ferguson share a special moment during the Memorial Day weekend

Former Miami women's basketball star Haley Cavinder celebrated the Memorial Day weekend with a big smile on her face, as she and her fiancé, Jake Ferguson, were together at a beach in Key West.

The engaged Dallas Cowboys tight end and social media influencer were happy together at the beach and Ferguson posted a photo of Haley against the Gulf Coast scenery with the football star calling her "American Fiancée."

The new nickname was a wordplay from Ferguson's team, the Dallas Cowboys, whose fans affectionately call them the "America's Team."

The tight end has begun his preparations for the 2025-26 NFL season, as his OTAs concentrated on refining his routes, blocking and overall on-field performance.

The former fourth-round pick also starts his partnership with new Dallas coach Brian Schottenheimer, who was signed during the offseason to replace Mike McCarthy. He has high hopes for the new coaching staff to prosper this coming season, just like his soon-to-be wedding with his fiancée, Haley Cavinder.
